Another week, another Hibernate Validator release. You might ask why we release a new maintenance version of the 6.0 branch so soon: it is mostly to provide a patch for WildFly 11 Final but it is also packed with nice enhancements!

This is a recommended upgrade for everyone using Hibernate Validator 6.0.x and it is a drop-in replacement of 6.0.3.Final.

What’s new

A patch for WildFly 11 Final

It has been a while since we provide patches for WildFly so that you can easily use the latest versions of Hibernate Validator on WildFly.

Full changelog

Getting 6.0.4.Final

To get the release with Maven, Gradle etc. use the GAV coordinates org.hibernate.validator:{hibernate-validator|hibernate-validator-cdi|hibernate-validator-annotation-processor}:6.0.4.Final. Note that the group id has changed from org.hibernate (Hibernate Validator 5 and earlier) to org.hibernate.validator (from Hibernate Validator 6 onwards).

Alternatively, a distribution bundle containing all the bits is provided on SourceForge (TAR.GZ, ZIP).

If you want to benefit from the new features of this version on WildFly, we also provide WildFly patches for WildFly 10.1 and WildFly 11.0 (wait for the synchronization to Maven Central). You can read about how to apply such patches here.

What’s next?

We will continue to release maintenance releases to fix quickly the issues reported by our users.

We updated our roadmap with the ideas we have for the future. If you want to join us, don’t hesitate to pick a task and come discuss it with us.
